What could be better than a spring day in southern New Mexico, relaxing with mellow tunes, gourmet goodies and a sip of wine? Celebrate the season at the La Viña Spring Wine Festival, from noon to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at La Viña Winery in La Union.

Thousands are expected to attend the popular spring fiesta, where attractions will include samplings of 20 different wines, live entertainment, arts and crafts from more than 60 vendors, and food treats.

The entertainment roster on Saturday includes Selina & The Chuco Soul Project at noon, Kat Crosby Blues Band at 2:15 p.m. and Frank Zona & Urban Edge at 4:30 p.m.

On Sunday, see Austin Jimmy Murphy at noon, Radical Expression Quantum at 2:15 p.m. and the Tom Lepinski Band at 4:30 p.m.

Austin Jimmy Murphy is an El Paso-based blues group led by songwriter Murphy. He is the recipient of several awards since 1995, most recently the 2013 Syracuse Area Music Award for best blues CD with "A History of Blues," a four-disc, 48-song partial recording history of his musical journey to date that began in the 1970s.

Murphy served as president of Los Paisanos de El Chamizal for two years and co-produced two Chamizal Blues & Jazz Festivals and Blues in the Box in the famous McKelligon Canyon, as well as founding the El Paso Blues Society. Currently, besides performing regularly, Murphy is the development director for the El Paso Museum of History.

All of the entertainment is either from southern New Mexico or El Paso and features blues or folk tunes to keep dancing feet moving.
